ABSTRACT
W3 treatment (100 percent RDF through water soluble fertilizers) recorded significantly highest leaf nitrogen and potassium (3.26 and 2.82 %) during 3rd and 6th MAP, flowering (4.12 and 2.88%) and 9th MAP (3.10 and 2.62 %) than other treated plants. At 3rd, 6th and 9th MAP highest leaf Fe (157.10, 210.18 and 124.88 ppm, respectively), leaf Mn content (102.88, 117.53 and 91.23 ppm, respectively), Zn content in leaves of banana (25.830, 57.483 and 43.673 ppm, respectively) and Cu content in leaf is recorded as 12.86, 14.58 and 13.42 ppm, respectively. Significantly lowest concentration was found in untreated plants. The highest micro- nutrients were noted in M1 (Grade- IV @ 30g per plant at 3rd, 6th and 9th MAP) followed by Mo treatment in all the stages.
